[WikiEN-l] I like Plautus

[Brian Corr]

Well maybe I'm in the minority, but I haven't been under the impression 
that the idea that the Star Wars lasers that can't even shout down test 
missiles were the cause of the Columbia disaster.

And if we have to do is add that "experts tend to disagree" I think we'll 
soon have the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and Lyndon Larouche's 
conspiracy theories about the Queen of England and a load of other 
"crackpot theories" included in related articles as important pieces of 
info -- duly noting that they aren't NPOV facts.

Just my $0.02,
Brian (Bcorr)
